Civilian Cruiser

[Trogdor]

What civilians? If it's the house governments that sponsor such a colonization attempt it'd be house tech that goes out and about. If it's unaffiliated civvies going to scratch out a living in deep space, we've already got a faction for that. Zoners. And yea, the Zoners should have a battletrans, which was the original role of the Fearless. Why that got shoehorned into the destroyer role is beyond me to be honest...

Battle transports are (ostensibly) for delivering cargo through hostile areas, past hostile forces.

We do need a cruiser and I think the Fearless fits the role nicely. Do we need a Btrans? Meh. Apart from supplying the couple of our bases that are way out in the deep Omicrons, we generally don't have a need to get supplies through hostile areas. At least, not at this time.

Anyway I think the Fearless is about 2x the size of a Btrans.

I like that model that was recently linked though.
